Help me,
     I have a pine account at the Universtiy of Kansas.  Well, I have 
a computer at home that is hocked up to the internet.  I want to be 
able to read my mail at home.  Do I need trumpet winsock?  If so where 
do I get it?  I have a Mac computer at home.  I know that Mac's will 
run pine because the Universtiy has some Mac's that have pine.  
Anyway, please help me if you can.  I want remoter access to pine via 
my home computer.  Thank you!!

P.S. -please reply at this address, it is not my pine account it is my 
parents e-mail account!!

Yesterday, someone suggested using a printer that is attached to your CPU. I
really don't know Macs that well, but I don't think that's an option.

Depends on the type of connection you're trying to make. If it is to be slip
- yes, though you don't necessarily need Winsuck (has it invaded the Mac
world, too?)

Try www.yahoo.com, internet section - there's a whole area for winsuck.

Ok, what you need is a connection to your email-account at your university.
Talk to the sysadmin or his aides, they'll tell you what to do and most
probably provide you with tailor-made software (dial-in scripts etc.).
